Not Just Another Salad

I gave myself permission to sleep in a bit today and I can’t believe how much better I feel just having had 20 more minutes of sleep.

I think I need to do this more often!

Last night we had a fabulous salad.

While I was working out, Bill whipped together this beauty:

And we topped them with some whole wheat pasta with a bit of sun-dried tomato pesto dressing:

It was delicious and satisfying for sure.  I have some leftovers for lunch too so I am extra excited for my lunch hour 1/2 hour :)

I also have been excited about these snacks.

Lara Bar sent me these cute sample bars in all kinds of flavors.  I love Lara Bars!

And I am still finishing up all of my vitalicious treats.  I have yet to try these brownies but I am hoping to soon:

Well time to get ready for work-8 more working days!

Today my workouts are gonna be a walk to work and back and a yoga sesh at the end of the day.

What about you?  What are you gonna do?

Don’t forget to enter my giveaway-I will pick a winner tomorrow :)

Make it a great one friends!

  1. Now THAT’S a salad! Hope you enjoy your walk to work. Still debating on my workout. Either run on the treadmill and some resistance band work or boot camp on the beach.

  2. You know I have never had any of the vita products!

    Hmm salad sounds good :) I love adding something warm (rice, pasta, quinoa etc) on top of my salad :)

    Have a wonderful Thursday :)

  3. Gorgeous salad – and those Lara bars are too cute.

    Today I will try to fit in a half hour dvd of some sort – maybe a Jillian Michael’s one later if I’m lucky…just far too busy this week!

    Have a nice Tuesday!

  4. I’ve slept in a little too long to run outside, but I think my training plan calls for a short run and a little time on the elliptical!

  5. Already on summer break here in Nebraska :-) so got my treadmill time in early. Need to find an easy to follow, yet tough (ie effective), ab workout. Any suggestions? Taxi mom type of day plus I am doing a bit of tutoring this afternoon. Your salads always look scrumptious. I am also in a “bit of something warm” on top of salad phase. Which Lara Bars do you like best? I have tried a couple but not real keen on them (yet).

  6. Just can’t beat salad in the summer. Love those little “snackable” Lara bars.

  7. I need more green in my life. A weekend away that include wine and fries at most meals needs to come right off.

  8. Today, it’s swimming lessons for the kids but otherwise the day is free.

  9. Yum…that salad is amazing!!!

  10. Love your “pasta” salad!! It’s rainy today, so pasta is on our menu tonight with the sauce I made over the weekend.

    I am going to do a 10 mile bike ride on the bike machine at the gym! (read: I slept in so didn’t work out this morning!)

  11. that salad looks like my daily lunch! I always top my leftovers on a bed of greens. YUUUUUUUUUUUMY

    also I love those teentsy weeentsy larabars. way cute!

    walking and yoga! ME TOO!
    I had a great run yesterday so today is walk day.
    8 more days!!! YAY!

  12. That salad looks delicious! yummers! I got up and worked out before work: 25 mins cardio sculpt and 25 minutes toning yoga. On lunch I walked with a friend for 30 minutes and will do another 15 minutes this afternoon. Hoping to get one more walk in tonight with the hubs. :)

  13. Wow–what a great salad. I have so much lettuce at home right now-I’ve been eating salad for every meal =) I feel you on the sleep–sometimes 20 minutes can make all the difference!

  14. The pasta on the salad just made it look over the top amazing! mmm…

    I’m doing crosstraining tonight… holla’! Let’s all cross our fingers that weight slammer guy and I aren’t on the same schedule this week!

  15. I’ve never had Vita products myself but they look awesome. I always talk myself out of buying them ha. My fave Lara bar is Cashew Cookie. Holy yum!

    I hit the gym for a 30 minute weight sesh and my arms are like spaghetti!

  16. Very nice salad, especially the sun-dried tomato pesto – yum! Probably 40 minutes of Rollerblading for exercise tonight with an ab session.

  17. Running for me of course ;)

  18. That is what I call a salad! Who said a salad isn’t a meal haha.

  19. I would have never thought to put pesto-covered pasta on salad. I bet it tasted really good.

  20. I just moved back home!!! I’m so excited to go grocery shopping :)

  21. I am just going to say this because I know we are all thinking it – We all NEED a Bill ;)

    He is the man!

    Your dinner looks lovely as always ;)

    XXOO

  22. Now that is a beauty of a salad! And it’s even better than your sweet hubby made it! (My hubby is lucky if he can boil water, lol!) :)

  23. As usual, that looks delicious! We went out to a family member’s favorite restaurant. I didn’t much care for it (most everything is fried, and the lettuce is iceberg in the salad).

    Today I’ll be making up a big mixed-greens salad and a corn and black bean salsa thing. With avo.
